 ummm--- not so sure about that comparison but we shall see!!!! Uncle Chuck has big shoes to fill if he wants to be compared to Arrogate

Wow.  I do like his breeding.  Never under estimate a Baffert entry in a big race.  He’s my pick for second.  Stonestreet bred.

TTL stays at Saratoga and trains there up till the Derby

Wow.  Wasn’t ‘t expecting that.  Nice for the horse.

Cindy, Why were you not expecting that? Just curious. - not intended to be an adversarial question

I was thinking they would get the horse to the new track to get acclimated and get works over it.  But Saratoga is horse heaven.  Quiet, cooler, nice routine.

He’ll go to Churchill the week before

No kidding? Yes, Saratoga is a step from the Adirondacks.  :)

I just hope that Tiz is a good shipper with no real work at Churchill Downs. Still, he (that is Tiz) looks like a monster, and I want him to continue his crusade. However, you know, the Derby is a weird race. 20 horses? I have lost track of this point, but will there be spectators allowed in? There is speculation there will not be 20 horses. Oh, I think there will be, even if they are lower points horses.
